Who Looks Like Andrew Jackson?

David Berstein at the Volokh Conspiracy asks if John Kerry and Andrew Jackson were separated at birth. Actually, baseball fans know that it's Peter Gammons who looks just like Andrew Jackson (Scroll down). Peter is often presented with $20 bills to autograph.

It's interesting that people think both look like Jackson. Gammons and Kerry played hockey against each other in prep school, and Peter told me once that Kerry was the dirtiest hockey player he ever saw. Maybe ESPN can run a poll on who looks more like Old Hickory!

Here's my claim to originality: I've made the rhetorical leap necessary to connect Howard Dean to Pedro Martinez. It's not a simple feat, but you can check it out at:

dirty hockey player, huh? That trait may very well come in handy when dealing with Bush/Rove and Co.

well...It can be said, that sometimes there is a struggle between two persons similar to each other...There's nothing strange..
